New Terrain, and Parts, and Built-In Materials, Oh my!

If you opt in you will gain access to use this update in your games and publish it before other people can. Either way, you will have to wait until January / February to use it.

Don’t take my word for that though. Just a prediction.

Long story short, you will be able to publish this update to show it off before everyone else.

In other words, you get to flex.

That method still doesn’t look to great unfortunately, and it just causes more lag. And if you union it to decrease lag, these methods just don’t really look great.

Well unfortunately, until we get these beautiful new materials, this is the only method (other than texturing) I know that lets you create custom, decent looking materials. They do appear to have a lot more cons than pros.

This sounds pretty cool. I’ve always felt the materials on ROBLOX were quite limiting. Would love to opt in!

Yeah, it is extremely unfortunate, and I hope Roblox fixes the need to do stuff like that…

Oh my! Thats amazing! It’s another level.

Amazing news! But I have a question, will the old materials be removed or will there be a way to use them still?

From what I heard, the old materials are here to stay.

I’m not sure if this is too closely related to refined Iron, but I have always wanted a chrome material. Also, I’m not sure if a gold material was mentioned, but if not, a new gold material would be amazing. I didn’t read the list thoroughly, so if these are already in the list, please let me know.

There are a few sentences in the original post which don’t exactly fill me with confidence that this is the case, but I really do hope that Roblox keeps the current materials available to both preserve existing content and allow the 2014 Roblox style to continue to exist.

I hope that they upgrade the original materials with PBR. As much as I love the old Roblox materials, I would love to see them in PBR.

Perhaps there could be a way to get the new, revamped versions (if there were any) AND the old materials. This way, you’d have a choice for your build style.

The original materials do have PBR.
